Obesity Men Homeopathy — Dr. Vandna Kanani

The most important constitutional remedy in obesity men homeopathy — Calcarea carbonica is the constitutional type most predisposed to constitutional weight accumulation. This man is constitutionally the most metabolically deficient of all constitutional types — his vital force cannot efficiently process and utilise nutritional substrate, converting instead to fat deposit at every constitutional opportunity. He is constitutionally chilly — always the coldest person in the room. He sweats about the head during sleep, leaving the pillow damp. He craves eggs, indigestible things and the constitutional Calcarea carbonica peculiar craving for chalk and dirt in childhood. He is constitutionally slow in all functions — slow digestion, slow metabolism, slow thought, slow movement — but thorough and reliable when he arrives at his constitutional pace. Constitutional anxiety about health and the future. The combination of constitutional obesity, chilliness, head perspiration during sleep, constitutional slowness and the characteristic Calcarea carbonica health anxiety identifies this as the primary constitutional obesity men homeopathy prescription.

For constitutional male obesity with the characteristic Graphites combination of constipation, skin eruptions producing honey-like secretions and a constitutional aversion to any form of physical exertion. The Graphites obese man is constitutionally sad and melancholic — not the anxious Calcarea carbonica but the constitutionally heavy, sad, music-sensitive Graphites constitutional type. He gains weight constitutionally and has persistent constipation with constitutional difficulty passing hard, knotty stools despite dietary efforts. Skin eruptions in the folds — behind the ears, in the groin, at the navel — producing a characteristic sticky, honey-like discharge. The constitutional Graphites obesity picture — weight gain with constipation, fold eruptions, constitutional sadness and aversion to exercise — distinguishes this from the Calcarea carbonica constitutional obesity presentation.

For constitutional male obesity with the characteristic Antimonium crudum features of a thick, milky-white tongue coating, intense constitutional craving for sweets and the characteristic Antimonium constitutional aversion to being touched or examined — the obese man who does not want his body looked at or discussed. Constitutionally sentimental and romantic — the Antimonium crudum obese man has a surprisingly sensitive inner emotional life beneath the constitutional physical excess. Digestive disturbance from overindulgence — nausea and vomiting from constitutionally overeating. Obesity that dates from a period of constitutional emotional sensitivity — a heartbreak or a romantic disappointment that triggered constitutional comfort eating. The combination of white-coated tongue, sweet craving, aversion to touch and examination and the constitutional romantic sensitivity identifies Antimonium crudum in obesity men homeopathy.

For constitutional male obesity with the characteristic Lycopodium constitutional body type of thin upper body and fat accumulation predominantly in the lower abdomen and hips — the constitutional Lycopodium obesity is not uniform but characteristically deposits constitutionally below the diaphragm while the upper body remains relatively lean. Constitutional bloating between 4 and 8 pm is the primary prescribing keynote. The Lycopodium obese man is constitutionally anxious, craves sweets in the late afternoon, and has the characteristic 4-8pm aggravation of all digestive symptoms that accompanies his constitutional weight accumulation. Right-sided constitutional preference. The combination of lower-body predominant obesity, 4-8pm bloating, sweet craving in late afternoon and the constitutional Lycopodium anxiety and performance gap identifies this remedy in obesity men homeopathy.

For the constitutionally obese man whose primary presenting symptom alongside the weight is disproportionate breathlessness from minimal exertion — the Ammonium carbonicum constitutional picture of the very obese man who cannot walk upstairs without becoming constitutionally breathless, who is constitutionally cold and depleted and who fatigues from the constitutional burden of carrying excess weight. This is the constitutional obesity that has progressed to the point of constitutional cardiorespiratory compromise — not cardiac pathology but constitutional deconditioning from the Psoric metabolic excess combined with the Ammonium carbonicum constitutional cold, depleted and breathless picture. The combination of severe obesity with disproportionate breathlessness, constitutional coldness and the characteristic Ammonium carbonicum constitutional depletion identifies this remedy in obesity men homeopathy.

A specific constitutional remedy in obesity men homeopathy for constitutional weight gain that began following tonsillectomy or tonsil-related illness — the Phytolacca constitutional picture of glandular obesity where the removal of the tonsillar lymphoid tissue triggered constitutional metabolic change. Also indicated for obesity accompanied by joint pain — the constitutional Phytolacca picture of painful, aching joints alongside the constitutional weight excess, where both the glandular constitutional disruption and the joint involvement are expressions of the same constitutional Psoric-Sycotic terrain. When male obesity dates clearly from a tonsillectomy or tonsil-related constitutional disruption and is accompanied by joint aching, Phytolacca is the constitutional obesity men homeopathy prescription for this specific pattern.
